But all those high executives who allowed this and maybe even supported and maybe even liked this, they're all still there except Jeff Williams.

So I don't know how much is actually going to change because the system in place that got Alan Dye this power and supported this and let all of this mediocrity ship is

is still the system there for the most part.

So I'm a little worried that we're not going to actually see as much change as we want, because all those other people, with the exception of Jeff Williams, are still there.

We are sponsored this episode by Delete.me.

Delete.me makes it easy, quick, and safe to remove your personal data from hundreds of data brokers online at a time when surveillance and data breaches are common enough to make everyone vulnerable to them.

It's super easy to find your personal info on these data broker sites.

So here's how this works.

When you do a web search for someone's name,

All these sites pop up saying like, hey, you want their address?

You want their phone number, their family members names?

You know, it's kind of a creepy, scummy business if you ask me.

But they all have to have some kind of opt out or takedown procedure.

But there's hundreds of these sites out there.

So if you want to get your stuff off of them, you have there's no way you're going to keep up.

You're never going to find them all.

You're never going to go through all their processes.

What delete me does.

is they automate the takedown and removal of your data from hundreds of data broker sites, whichever ones they can find, and they go and they figure out their opt-out procedures and they add it to their list.

And so they're constantly working for you.
